What specific elements of the film opening did you like?	What specific elements of the film opening did you dislike?	Did this look like a movie opener and did it make you want to know what happens next? Explain.	Was there anything that left you confused? (be specific)	What suggestions do you have to make this movie opener better?
I like the comedic elements and the emotion that the film brings. The camera angles were good as well.	I disliked how the sounds did not match/fade. They were very choppy at some moments.	It does not look like a movie opener, but like a short story. I feel as if it ends there other than wondering if the guy is okay.	Nothing left me confused.	I would add sound fades throughout the film. Also, better story significance would help hint that this is a movie opener. You should help us imagine and want to know what happens next.
ABSOLUTELY PERFECT FILM, THIS IS HIGH ART! This is a concept that can't be played with by kids when making a movie for Cambridge and it sucks, but they tried anyways, which is admirable in a way, but also holy s that was dumb as hell.	Obviously I don't think I need to provide a detailed itinerary that connects events to timestamps when I say that some scenes felt unnatural, and not like a car race.	The editing and movie opener, were clearly not taken seriously, and it is really funny, but obviously, you can't turn this in to Cambridge, it did not appease either section of this question, no.	Is he always shirtless, and why is he wearing women's shoes and a scarf with a Chinese hat thing. Why isn't this student dress code.	Different concept is what you're looking at.
I appreciated the sound effects and the mixing of audio and music.	The glitching of the 20th century fox intro took me out of the movie greatly. The thumb or high light source that obscures the frame on the first shot seemed lazy and overlooked by the editor or cameraman. The music seems to guide the listener as the movie meanders around for two minutes.	No, the lack of a coherent plot, overbearing music, and the abrupt ending make this film seem uninspired. The laziness present in many of the aspects of the production makes me disinterested in following through.	The 20th-century fox intro confused me greatly. I'm aware that this movie is a homemade production so the move feels like a lazy attempt to give it a professional edge.	I would add more explanatory dialogue to detail the character's thoughts. Make the music less overbearing and more purposeful. And focus on shooting camera work that doesn't contain flaws (such as a thumb on the lens).
It was funny.	Some of the shots were shaky and were random, some of them also looked like a mistake and could definitely be taken much better.	The beginning could be considered an opener but as it goes on I cannot say that it looked like an opener, I was confused.	There wasn't a very clear outline of what was happening in the film, it all seemed random. There needs to be a clearer story line.	Create a better story line and film using different angles.
I like the upbeat music in the beginning (the first song after the studio intro).I also like the minion sounds which added some more comedy to the film. Chachi's faces and crash pose at the end are nice touches.	I wasn't quite sure what the objective of the film was but it was definitely comedic.	I think this can be seen as a movie opener by the end scene of whether or not the man survived the crash.	I don't know why Chachi is wearing those shoes or what the film is really about. Is it about street racing? Teaching someone to drive? Purposely driving someone off the road?	Establish the purpose of the film.
I did like the sound effects added in for comedic effect.	I thought the intro was very poorly done especially since it was copied from an actual movie. The plot was also poor in my opinion.	It did not look like a movie trailer. I didn't feel like there was going to be much to watch about afterwards.	What the movie was about. I didn't understand the point or plot.	I would get rid of the 20th FOX intro for it served limited value. I would also try to make the plot better by either adding more comedy if it's supposed to be a comedic film.
I enjoy the transitions between each of the shots of the main character. The movement of the cuts also increases the ability to understand what's happening in the movie opener.	The beginning was very shaky and was kind of confusing and why it was like this.	I feel like I would want to know what would happen after the race such as a blog of the main characters life.	The sounds of cars racing and minion voices are very delayed and do not add up to the rest of the film.	I think that there should be credits of who made this film as well as whos acting and edited.
The humor.	The racing.	It looked like a movie opener towards the beginning and begun to stray.	No.	Different thing altogether that's easier to do. I think a race would be hard to pull off satisfyingly without a green screen.
I like how they I was able to tell that it was comedy. They did a good job making ti funny and entertaining.	They could have used better editing.	Yes, it was funny and entertaining. I believe it could make many people laugh and smile.	No, I understood everything	They could use better camera angles.
I liked how it was clearly a comedy and the camera angles were good	The car noises did not match the driving and the plot was confusing overall.	I did like it however I did not want to know what would happen next because I was confused.	I was confused whether he was trying to race the other driver, or where he was going, and why he was driving slow.	Be more specific for the movies aims and match the sound effects up better.
Automatically knew it was Chachi. Makes anything funny. 10/10 music choice. The fake minion mouthing and the fake tapping the gas pedal was hilarious, because why are his ankles like that. Him going 5mph while acting like a NASCAR driver. THE CRASH!!! The position he was in was hilarious.	the 20th Century Fox opener glitched like crazy and would have been copyrighted within 2 seconds of being released.	I'm assuming he went to the hospital next. Not really leading anywhere for the next hour and a half except maybe his recovery journey or a change in his character after the "trauma".	Nope.	I don't know, do something to indicate what the rest of the movie is about. Have a subtitle that says "he was never the same..." or something so we know that we'll watch a movie about his journey either recovering, or dealing with PTSD or something similar.
The music, the props, and the story looked alright.	Didn't like the intro, and there could've been more added sound effects.	It looked like a humorous movie opener, so it did make me curious on what was going to happen next.	Why there wasn't that much monologue	Take out the intro, make a new one maybe, add in better sound effects, and add more monologue.
I liked the humor in it, it was very funny.	I did not like how there was only one piece of dialogue throughout the entire film.	No, since there was no dialogue, I don't know the meaning of the film.	Yes, why did the two characters race?	I suggest you add dialogue to steer watchers to understand the movie.
I liked the minion sound effects and the other sound effects used.	I didn't like when the 20th Century Fox thing was in there and glitchy, there was no point of it being there.	It does look like a movie opener, makes me want to know what happened to the driver.	No I was not confused.	There black car was in view when the "crash" happened so maybe have on the side on the street in the background of the crash.
I liked that there were zoom ins, transition shots, body shots, and music. There was an intro in the beginning of the film. There were background effects for the driving scenes. There's a visible theme of humor and sarcasm from the actor's actions, clothing, and the fact that the person the main character was racing against laughed.	It felt a bit choppy in the zoom in when the main character (before they changed song). There's no name for the opener.	Yes and no, because the ending of the opener was the guy crashing his car but it kind of made me stop there despite the fact that there could be	Is the 20th century opening copyrighted? Also, why does it look laggy/switchy.	Name your opener.
Liked the background music and it was funny	I didn't get the theme of the movie as there really wasn't much unless if it was supposed to be a comedy.	No it really wasn't a movie opener as there wasn't much going on because of the lack of dialogue	In the beginning I was confused, but I get the comedy concept that you are trying to go for	Add some more dialogue and make sure to have somewhat of a story to tell
The music did a good job creating an upbeat mood.	The sound effects in comparison to the driving wasn't very realistic.	It did feel like a movie opener, but didn't leave much to be desired in a continuation.	Not really. A guy crashed his car into a pole, so there's not really anything to be confused about.	Press on the gas a little to make the driving resemble the sound effects at least a little bit.
I liked the humor in this film.	I disliked some of the camera angles when they were filming chachi in the car.	This did not look like a movie opener. I was not really wondering what was going to happen next because there was no clear plot.	I was confused on the plot of this movie opener. It was filmed well and was funny but there was no real plot to show the audience what was going on.	I would clarify the plot a little more and maybe show why the cars were racing and why chachi was dressed all funny.
- I liked the sound effects - The genre was established and clear	- the plot was not clear - the 20th Century Fox needs to go for plagiarism purposes - there is no dialogue - there needs to be an ending that creates anticipation	It did not look like a movie opener. I did not want to know what happens next because there was no anticipation or clear plot.	The plot.	Have a clear plot and create a sense of anticipation.

Mostly what my peers said was that the film was funny but kind of confusing which I agree with also the beginning was choppy like glitchy and I need to get rid of it which I am. Overall from reading my peers reviews I am going to change the beginning to a self-made intro also turn the music down a little and then add a shot explaining more of what's going on. Also make the audio transisition a little better.
